Is this mission working with the new DCS-v1.0.1-version?

My suggestion for this mission: To prevent a lot of confusions add audio-signals to all cockpit-messages so no one will miss situation-reports in the cockpit. Played the mission and i got this: - 06:30 entered the cockpit: edited/changed/moved waypoints, navigationpoints on the abris & pvi-800 system. - 06:50(ca.) take off. Did some basic tests with the wingman. Orderd him to land on the FARP. - 07:02 left the FARP-area without wingman. - 07:18 got a first view on the combat-scenery (at Tkvarcheli). Saw a lot wrecks and thought these wrecks must be the rest of the battle when the insurgents took over Tkvarcheli some days before. ... Then Searching & Hiding Searching & Hiding. Searching & Hiding. ... After hours i realized that in Tkvarcheli were no Midrange-AAA-HAWK-system installed and only 2 intact insurgent-vehicles were left. After-action-report: the ambulance-convoy started at 06:58 with the battle in Tkvarcheli. 07:08 the battle was over. The ambulance convoy was fully destoyed, but the convoy took out 90% of the insurgent-assets. I got a first view to the battlefield 10 minutes after all actions took place...

With an text-editor i took a glance in the "mission"-files to get an impression how he worked. IMO it's annoying none of the missions have realistic weather conditions. Why do the creators fail at such simple basics?

Welcome to the battlefield-REALITY where enemies normaly do such stuff like hiding and shooting. Infos => http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=46733&highlight=hiding An early discussion about hiding enemies => http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36769&highlight=enemies.

I would have some questions if i am the one who is supposed to fly this operation: 1.)what is the meaning of the "553 1251 1844"-thingy on the flight-maps? 2.)why are the waypoints named like "10:10" and not "10". ( 3.)what is the meaning of "Maikop"(group Maikop). Just a name or something else? ) 4.)Flight “Vint”: how many aircrafts? 5.)Flight "Barkhan"(Mig29): how many aircrafts? 6.)Flight "Fixator" (Mi-24): how many aircrafts? 7.)Briefing says: "We’re expecting high activity of enemy airforces." WHAT type of airforces do we "expect"? Mig-29s, biplanes from the 1. world war? Details please! 8.)Just for the understanding: Flight "Arard" will be between 19:00 08.09.20.. and 06:00 09.09.20..`? Is this correct? 9.) Is refueling allowed? 10.)Am i on my own or do i have wingman(s)? Briefing says: "The reconnaissance party reports on heavy concentration of manpower and material assets on the Western part of Aibga settlement". So ... 11) What type of assets were reported? 12) How many were reported? 13) What are the coordinates of the last known positions of the reported assets? 14) When (exact time) were the assets seen?

Operation "Artilery hunt". The briefing-map shows enemy-positions and the enemy-types. Question (to the HQ): Are there more threats NOT shownn on the briefing-map with uncertain positions for example?

404 file not found

Another question: At the railway-station of Tkvarcheli there stands a train which has loaded 5 or more tanks. I dont know if these tanks on the train are active or not. The tanks could be a possible threat for me if the insurgents enter these tanks: MG-fire, possible tank-shells etc. => Am i "allowed" to take out this train (loaded with tanks)? <= (i am in the middle of the mission. So no spoilers please.)

98% on open Black-Shark multiplayer-servers you get this expierence: Loop this 7 times... Begin========Begin 1. Start with cheat 2. Make some mission progress with try and error. 3. Five minutes after start got shot. Die. 4. Go to 1. End==========End Leave the server So in contrast to many others on Black-Shark- + LockOn-multiplayer-servers i don't expect any change.

Certainly he uses the after-action-multiplayer-trk-file in the temp-folder. Some more questions: - At the end of the vid we saw that flight with only the left wing (right wing + load was shot). Just for interest: is this asymetric load difficult to manage or just a bit more compensation on the flight stick? - Am i right that your right engine had lost all power after the stinger-impact? So what did you to manage to fly home with one engine? Full power on the yellow thrust levers? Extra fire-extinction button?

Some discrepancies between briefing and mission-reality: - briefing says there a Shorads, armored personnel carriers and troop-trucks. But a HAWK air defence system is not a SHORAD system. Its a mid range air defence system with a range up to 20 - 25 km. A SHORAD system has a range only up to 10 km. This is clearly a misinformation. (Ok in addition the briefing says further details of the enemy convoy is unknown. Maybe that is the important info.) - briefing says town "Novaya Akcaskia". The spelling is wrong.

I want to make a video from a special situation in a special TacView-scenario. But not everyone have installed TacView. FRAPS isn't able to record a TacView-scenario (*.acm-file). Does GameCan can record TacView-scenarios? Which recording software do i need?

The briefing says near (north west of) Tkvarcheli operates friendly vehicles. Avoid friendly fire and identify these friendly vehicles with 100% certainty it would be very realistic when the briefing gives the pilots some more information about these friendly vehicles: how many, what sort of vehicles, position etc... But dont know if the vehicles are shown in the ABRIS though. Haven't done this mission, just have read the briefing.

I am using the trim-off-button a lot. Have also only a Non-FF-stick. Because the trim-off-stick-position is always the same. Here i am 100% familiar with the heli: how the heli reacts whilst i move the stick to a certain position. Safty comes first for me and not the looping-experiences and stuff. I am using the trim-off-position at: - low-level-flight (under 40 meters and airspeed under ca. 100 km/h) - manouvering in closely spaced areas (cities, mountains, get in shooting position whilst there is a sam-thread etc.) But i have only 31 flight-hours though ( 32 landings, no deadly crash, pilot vulnerable).

+1 Because of realism: Dont presuppose that everybody uses during the starting the start-up cheat (win-home + pos1). So i would appreciate if there is a critical time during start-up and take-off. that the briefing will clearly say how many time (or paraphrase it with "quickest startup" or something like that) the pilot has between entering the cockpit and taking-off.

Some questions: 1) what is the meaning of hardcore here? Super difficult to survive or the setting is ultra(hardcore)-realistic? 2.) do you have a link for the general tactics-guide-book of russian army 2007 or a document which explains the tactical signs of your tactical map?

I was asking because your mumbai-terrorist-background-storypart of course has happened in reality... http://www.mahalo.com/mumbai-terrorist-attacks

Stupid question: did this happened or is this fictional?

The amount of property damage of ca. $ 36.000.000 alone should be enough to bring the EASA on the scene ... (: (rough guess: cost of KA-50 = $ 12 million)

I assume we see Schnarres helicopter at the bottom left of the first pic. 3 questions... (1) how can Schnarres helicopter-blades instantly kill a pilot in another copter and after this crash we saw (nearly?) intact blades (all lower rotortiplights were on = at least all lower rotorblades were intact)? (2) what were Schnarres problems after the crash? Heli out of control, engineproblems? (3) he was ca. 150 m(?) above ground so he had a little bit time to decide what to do and what not. Why he didn't used the ejection-seat? Are these questions already answered?

And with your 1312 posts and 52 reputation-points you haven't figured out that there is an extra video and screenshot-thread to put these vids into it? Anyways can't load/click on the videos. Maybe i have to register to the HPage. Dont know.

eBay-Message: video not available in my country. ):

Dont know what you are thinking and put out these crappy youtube-stuff with all these unrealistic track-, back- and other views (see 1st posting). Dude its so simple. Keep it realistic and go for a 1st-person view and THEN you get excited => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwUYZVz1A7E

Didn't saw all DCS-Blackshark-trailers. So your compilation of cutscenes from some/all(?) DCS-Blackshark-trailers was indeed amazing, breathtaking, spectacular, ... what ever you want.... Only mention one scene (the SAM-avoidance manoeuvre) of many others => scene 8:30 from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLoBsD6VdHI#t=8m30s

Absolut disagree. When i watch a ka-50-video i expect nothing more than a REALISTIC sound-environment and not some B***S****-musicvideo with ka-50 stuff.
